ABSTRACT
Candles are one of the alternative lighting tools for lamps. However, along with the development of science and
technology, the function of candles has become diverse, whether it is used as a means of lighting, decoration and also as
aromatherapy candles. Aromatherapy candles are an alternative to aromatherapy applications by inhalation, namely
inhalation of aroma vapors produced from a few drops of essential oils. Indonesia produces 40-50 types of essential oil-
producing plants from 80 types of essential oils traded in the world and only some of these types of essential oils enter the
world market, including patchouli, citronella, agarwood, cloves, jasmine, ylang, eucalyptus, sandalwood. , and vetiver.
Seeing this, the potential for business through plant essential oil extracts is very wide open. One simple method and a
very good business opportunity is to extract essential oils from plants and the results can be modified into aromatherapy.
